Details:
The purpose of this grant is to develop a long-term ecological “restoration” plan for the Kingman and Heritage Islands Conservation Area (“Conservation Area”) and maximize implementation of the plan’s “restoration” activities to (1) protect and improve wildlife opportunities, (2) improve the public visitation experience, (3) improve environmental education opportunities for children, residents, and visitors to the Conservation Area, and, (4) upon completion of restoration activities, provide DOEE with an updated ecological “restoration” plan.
The terms “restore” and “restoration”, for the purposes of this RFA, should be read to mean the following: The terms refer to ecologically enhancing the locally native communities of plants, animals, and fungus, with soil and hydrologic conditions in mind and not to restoring the area to its pre-colonial condition (tidal wetland and riverine system).
